Its kinda hard to continue being compassionate when every act of compassion toward a group is met with derision from them. Particularly when that group never offers compassion back.

Niffla said: TLDR: There is very little to no compassion for those with dissenting political views. That's pretty much it IMO. And for the record I'm not just solely condemning liberals here. Just responding to Jokeshop's "lack of compassion" quote. Obviously hardline conservatives do the exact same thing when given the chance.
Well, yep. If Trump hadn't said the word-jumble "Democrat, virus, hoax" I wonder how many more people would be alive today.
I don't wish death on these people. I wish they would wake the fuck up from their delusional world-view. Meanwhile they talk gleefully about the prospects of civil war, and fighting the tyrannical government that's coming door to door to give them medicine. Let them live in their fantasy world, and die if they want to, seems pretty compassionate to me  What would you have me do otherwise?

It's a vicious cycle. No doubt. There's no maturity left in politics anymore...if there ever was any to begin with. But now it has been reduced to largely insults and personal attacks lobbed at each other in perpetuity. One group attacks and the other attacks back. Fight fire with fire. That kind of formula will never amount to anything productive. I've said it a million times here but I just wish we had more politicians and more voters who could sit down at a table and maturely discuss things without resorting to attacks. And name calling. and venom. I wish more people could agree to disagree but yet still try to move forward and at the very least find some level of middle ground on issues. But then again I wish I could win the lottery tomorrow, too. Unfortunately I don't see either happening. In fact I probably have better odds at the Powerball than I do seeing conservatives and liberals maturely working together in my lifetime.
The far left & right (moderates of either side are fine) are extremely toxic and just simply bad for this country. It's like when you take a couple of chemical elements together that explode when mixed. It's just a highly combustible environment right now and as someone who doesn't identify with either base (I identify with certain, individual beliefs from both sides and do not prescribe to a particular party line), I find them both just vile in their behavior.

Idk, I obviously don't have the answers for any of this. I don't think anyone does. Otherwise we wouldn't be living in this cesspool of hate that makes up our current reality. There's not anything you can do -- like you said those people are going to do what they're going to do. And if they end up suffering the consequences, then well, that's life. I don't expect you to cry for them. Not at all. I'm sorry Lynnch I don't know you or your background so I'm probably not at all talking about you here, or lumping you in with those that I spoke of in general earlier. I just know that we do have quite a large number of citizens out there who exist on both sides, who no doubt would like nothing more than to see as many of the other side die off as possible. And that I find...scary.

What a weekend in London. The euro final is going right now and Wimbledon finished this afternoon. Stands are packed with maskless fans. All thanks to the vaccines.
England lost so maybe we’ll get some good post pandemic rioting

Lets put it at a distance...
Smallpox (Variola major) caused huge epidemics.
In the 1970s the Soviets initiated the ambitious plan to rid the world of smallpox which was embraced the world over, east and west were united in this.
Mass vaccination and quarantine, the whole world over.
WE GOT IT.
Smallpox only lives in frozen test tubes in a lab now.
No longer millions of pockmarked people each year.
How would you judge those fucking boomers if they would have refused, not just to vaccinate or quarantine, but even to use PPE and social distancing?
They didnt. They were sensible.
Imagine we still had smallpox thanks to these FUCKERS now almost 50 years later.
Thats how history will judge what mndfreeze unkindly but aptly calls "plague rats"

Again I'm just curious what y'all mean by banish. Or to remove from society. Do you mean just solely banning them from any public establishments/events? Or getting jobs? Stuff like that?
Yes. The nonvaccinated shouldn’t be allowed in planes, bars, grocery stores, offices. Any place they can spread the virus to other people.
They should be fined every day they refuse. Just like we used to to in this country before we became a bunch of snowflakes

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts
Quote:
Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws. The Court's decision articulated the view that individual liberty is not absolute and is subject to the police power of the state.
Massachusetts law empowered the board of health of individual cities and towns to enforce mandatory, free vaccinations for adults over the age of 21 if the municipality determined it was necessary for the public health or safety of the community.[2] Adults who refused were subject to a $5 monetary fine.[2] In 1902, faced with an outbreak of smallpox, the Board of Health of the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts adopted a regulation ordering the vaccination or revaccination of all its inhabitants.[2]
Justice John Marshall Harlan delivered the decision for a 7–2 majority that the Massachusetts law did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.[2] The Court held that "in every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand" and that "[r]eal liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others."[

Olivia Guidry, a registered nurse in the emergency department at Ochsner Lafayette General, died Saturday after being hospitalized for the coronavirus in the intensive care unit
Any hospital that allowed their staff to be unvaccinated ARE LETTING THEIR EMPLOYEES DIE. Her antivaxx activitsm led to her own death and countless others.

Both of Guidry's parents are currently ill with the coronavirus,

Niffla hit it on the head.. Vitriolic comments are mostly directed at underlying (assumed) political affiliations. When I was writing that comment, I was thinking of all of the liberal think-pieces explaining away the 2016 election (blue collar worker jobs blah blah)... while conservative think-pieces about liberals tend to lean into the themes of "Dirty-commies" and "baby-killing-sinners" ... Discourse around pro-vax vs anti-vax follows the same trends.
But it's not theoretical for me.. I went out late one night. Someone had been writing a bunch of nasty anti-mask, anti-lockdown graffiti in chalk around my neighborhood, and I was sick of looking at it; so I took a rag and cleaned it up. Coincidentally, the guy responsible was out there at the same time, and he confronted me. I gave this guy plenty of compassion, and listened to him- while he yelled in my face, insulted me, and ranted off every conspiracy theory. He eventually completely lost his shit, saying I was threatening him, pulled out his phone (I thought he was pulling a gun..) and took a picture of me -threatening me, saying he knows what I look like now... at that point I told him I didn't want to fight him, and walked away. He was an asshole and a lunatic. One of my relatives was on a ventilator a month later.

Seems a shame to me to lump anyone who thinks that people should have freedom of choice as to what they put into their bodies with wankers like this.
But then, you live in the US, and if you pay any attention to the media here, you'll no doubt be wound up and fired up to the point of being ready to explode with anger. After all, that's right where they want you, and they spend billions trying to get you there.

This quote says it all:
There's a reason for this, there's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got... because the owners of this country don’t want that. I'm talking about the real owners now... the real owners. The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right.
They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this fuckin' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. ...The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. ...And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it. --George Carlin

Your freedom of choice ends at your front door. Mandatory vaccinations go back further than the founding of this country. It’s settled case law. You have a radical view of freedom that doesn’t match reality.
Every person who grew up in the United States in the past 40 years has been subject to compulsory vaccinations.
This was TWO YEARS AGO:
Quote:
On April 9, its health commissioner ordered that, within 48 hours, anyone more than 6 months old who lived, worked, or attended school within four Brooklyn ZIP Codes, unless immune or medically exempt, “shall be vaccinated against measles.” The city first threatened civil and criminal repercussions but eventually settled on a $1,000 fine.
